Let's all prepare for a dark and somber service this Sunday -- with the hope of the gospel, of course, in view. Jesus pronounces seven "woes" against the self-exalting religion of the Scribes and Pharisees. We've also published a new booklet on "The Responsibilities of a Church Member." Learn more and get a sneak peek at that resource here.

Pastors Nick, Matt, and Danny discuss why they're starting a podcast, as well as the passage and other announcements for this week.

Listen along and get to know Nick and his family as they prepare to become a part of our Redemption Church family.

In this episode, Danny talks with Darrell Young of the Charles Simeon Trust about training pastors to do faithful expository preaching in India -- why it matters, and how we can work together to see God do it.

Pastor and church planter Adam McNinch joins us from Queensferry, Scotland to discuss the need for patience when sharing the gospel with our unbelieving friends.

Ron & Danny make the case that (1) preaching the gospel, (2) making disciples, and (3) multiplying local churches are the three essential priorities of the Church's mission.

Evangelism: How the Whole Church Speaks of Jesus, by Mack Stiles

Even though they've forgotten and turned from the Lord, all nations belong to our God. And King Jesus has come to be the King of all nations -- to redeem and restore a new spiritual people from every tribe and every tongue. But Jesus is not here to rule and reign in this way -- at least, not for now. So, in the meantime, who has he entrusted this mission to? And how should that shape the way we go about it?
